How long does ice-cream take in the Ninja Creami?

Once your base is frozen (takes up to 24 hours), the actual spinning and blending into ice-cream takes less than 5 minutes (including the re-spin and mix-ins).

Does the Ninja Creami really need 24 hours?

The instructions say to freeze your base for 24 hours before blending because it insures that it is frozen completely solid. The exact freeze time will vary based on your freezer - your base likely can be frozen completely solid in less time. The Ninja Creami will not work properly if it isn't completely frozen.

Why is my ice-cream powdery from the Ninja Creami?

It is normal for the ice-cream to be powdery or crumbly after just one spin because the base is frozen so solid. After one more spin, the ice-cream should be creamy and ready to enjoy.

Instructions

Mix Base in Pint Container - Mix the milk, half and half, instant pudding mix, sugar, and vanilla extract in the pint container. I like to use a milk frother to do this, but you can also mix well with a fork or small whisk.
Freeze - Place the pint in the freezer and freeze for 24 hours so it is fully solid. Make sure you place it on a level surface in your freezer. I prefer to freeze with the lid off as I find it prevents the 'hump' from forming in the middle. If yours develops a hump in the center, you can scrape some of it away with the back of a spoon so the top is level.
Blend - Insert into the outer bowl, add the lid, and lock into position. Blend on 'Lite Ice-Cream'. It will likely be crumbly after the first spin. Make a little well in the center and add an extra tablespoon of half and half or milk before 2nd spin.
Spin a 2nd Time - Re-spin on the same lite ice cream setting. After the second spin it should be creamy and ready for mix-ins.
Mix-In Oreos - Add the Oreo cookie pieces. It's best to press some down into the soft serve so they get evenly distributed vs being only mixed in on the top half. Blend on the 'mix-in' setting and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers? You can either use a spoon to smooth out and level the top in the Ninja Creami pint container and put back in the freezer. Then you can spin again when ready to eat. Or you can transfer the leftover soft serve to another container and freeze. Then thaw on the container for a bit or zap it in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds to soften it and eat again.
